Care


OUR MISSION: TO PROCLAIM + EMBODY
THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE CITY + THE WORLD

The Congregational Care ministries at Eastbrook provide care, support, and counseling in the hope of seeing people grow and change in the power of the Holy Spirit.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

ONE TO ONE CARE (Stephen Ministry)

A confidential ministry that pairs trained Care Givers with Care Recipients to provide long-term support. If you are going through a rough time — whether because of job loss, divorce, loneliness, cancer, death of a loved one or something else — please consider asking us for your own One to One Care Giver. These supervised individuals will meet with you privately and confidentially on a weekly basis to listen, care, encourage, support, and remind you of Christ’s presence in your life.

GRIEFSHARE

If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. That’s the reason for GriefShare, a special seminar and support group for people grieving the death of someone close. This group is sponsored by people who understand what you are experiencing and want to offer you comfort and encouragement during this difficult time. GriefShare is a non-denominational group and features biblical teaching on grief and recovery topics. We offer GriefShare several times a year.

LIVING WATERS

Living Waters provides a safe, confidential environment for those seeking ongoing healing and wholeness in sexual and relational issues. This discipleship and prayer ministry addresses the roots of brokenness. Anyone committed to deeper intimacy with Christ, self, and others is welcome; some have found it especially helpful with struggles including (but not limited to): fear, insecurity, co-dependency, pornography, effects of abuse, promiscuity, gender identity issues, and unwanted same-sex attraction.

Topics include financial health, grandparenting tips, caring for aging loved ones with dementia, blood pressure screenings, preparing for retirement, dealing with cancer, understanding Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, and more.
